A Day in the Gallifreyan Life
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 12 minutes and 51 secondsAsk the average Earthling on the street to describe an advanced alien civilization, and they might very well picture a strange world of odd colors, outlandish architecture, barely recognizable life forms, and cultural behaviors that we may have little hope of comprehending. Ask a Whovian the same, and you'll likely touch on a number of those descriptors with some variance (perhaps a higher percentage of humanoid forms), but more or less in the same vein. Now, go a step further, and ask about the inhabitants of Gallifrey in particular -- on a planetary scale, not just our love-them-and-hate-them Time Lords, but the entire Gallifreyan species. All of a sudden, the areas of culture and society gets a little thin. Why is that? This week, using only the aspects of Gallifrey that were either shown or mentioned in the Doctor Who televised series (classic and new), we try to form a fuller understanding of the Doctor's home planet, and the people that occupy its cities and outlands. Knowing where we've left off at the conclusion of Series 9 and "Hell Bent", odds are good that we're not done learning more about Gallifreyan society, government, and populace. We also discuss the ramifications of learning those new things, and when the sum total may be too much to reveal.

Classic Rewatch: The Gunslingers
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 44 minutes and 17 secondsWe've been waiting for this for some time, and not for the reasons you might think. This third season classic story, the first set in the United States, and the first of only a few attempts at a "western" theme, has had its share of maligns and put-downs. Well frankly, we think those yella-bellied nay-sayin' so-and-sos are just doin' it wrong. Viewed in the right light, it's a perfectly enjoyable (and at times, outright comedic) romp, and as we discuss, might even be self-aware -- which makes it all the better. This week, we shake the dust from our boots and saddle up to "The Gunslingers", that fateful moment where Doctor Who took on the Tombstone story. Complete with quick draws, jail breaks, and possibly the worst earworm of a theme song ever composed, we spend a little time panning the mud, and find comedy gold.

Noel Clarke: Interview from L.I. Who 3

The Ark
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 39 minutes and 54 secondsWhat is a person to do when confronted with the end of your planet? Build a giant spaceship, miniaturize your entire species, enslave an alien race, and begin a journey across space that will take millennia of course. This week we revisit the first Doctor story "The Ark." With Steven Taylor and new companion Dodo along, they befriend the ships crew when Dodo's cold becomes an epidemic. There's certainly not anything to worry about with the Monoids though, right? "Uhhhhhhh . . . no?" News Links: Bill's Costume On Limited Display The 12th Doctor's Screwdriver Now Available!

Derrick Sherwin: Interview from L.I.Who 3
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 40 minutes and 48 secondsThere are a litany of reasons why Doctor Who script editor and producer Derrick Sherwin was greeted at the Long Island Doctor Who convention last November as the event's Guest of Honor. He was responsible for the addition of U.N.I.T. to the program during the Patrick Troughton era, as well as the introduction of the sonic screwdriver. He was pivotal in the selection of Troughton's successor, the action-ready and audience-charming Jon Pertwee. And he was adept at balancing the need for an entertaining story (for the entire family) as well as a sound and compelling science fiction tale that resonated with the audience of the time. We were indeed honored ourselves to be able to sit with Mr. Sherwin at LI Who 3, and speak with him for a few moments about his exceptional CV within the program in the 1960s.

Quotable Companions
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 37 minutes and 33 secondsWhen you have a program that has spanned the decades as few like Doctor Who have done, and have at times both intentionally and unintentionally replaced actors within the principal cast, you have a rather large set of characters to draw upon for any sort of trivia game you might devise. Take three so-called "fans" of the program, and pit them against each other in attempts to identify which character delivered a single line from a single episode across that five-decade-plus span, and you've got a recipe for a good old fashioned geek slap fight. This week, the GPR trio tests one another on their ability (or complete lack thereof) to identify quotes from companions who have ventured with the Doctor. The winner of this fierce competition gets...well, nothing. Probably a delicious, gourmet, home-cooked pizza, because you know for a fact who ISN'T going to win...

Paul McGann: Interview from L.I. Who 3
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 19 minutes and 59 seconds"He smelled of honey, he always let his tea cool far too long before he drank it, and he let me win at Scrabble...I think." -- Charlie Pollard, on the Eighth Doctor Recorded live from the third Long Island Doctor Who (or L.I. Who 3) convention in November of 2015, we sit down once again with the Eighth Doctor himself, Paul McGann, and discuss the convention circuit, his latest projects with Big Finish, and celebrating his birthday with fans in New York. (Also in this supplemental cast: our reaction to the announcement of the newest Doctor Who companion, Pearl "Bill" Mackie!)

Torchwood vs. U.N.I.T.
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 55 minutes and 39 secondsWhen you think teams that have been developed for the sole purpose of protecting humanity from the countless dangers and unfathomable powers of the collective cosmos, you may think of some spandex-clad superheroes zipping about in all their box office-smashing glory. (Excelsior!) But if you're a Whovian, that leaves you debating between two well-established, well-respected entities: Torchwood; and U.N.I.T. But why do we have two of these organizations? In this week's nearly academic discussion, we look at what we know of Torchwood and U.N.I.T., how they compare and contrast, and hypothesize why they haven't crossed paths more often in Doctor Who canon. (Hint: it probably has something to do with Jack Harkness' libido.)

Whovian Family Values: Live from (Re)Generation Who
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 11 minutes and 39 secondsWe've had discussions here on GPR in the past that touch upon the intersect of Doctor Who and members of the family before. From discussing the moral themes that viewers can take away from the program, to the support and encouragement of young Whovian development, to the idea of introducing adult non-viewers to the show for the first time, a lot of ground has been covered. (We'll set aside humility for a moment, and say that we feel we've done a pretty bang-up job of tackling each.) But there's still one particular Venn Diagram of sorts that brings these all together, and to do that justice, we needed a broader panel of voices, and a public forum to banter for a good solid chunk of time. In the second of our live recordings from the 2016 convention (Re)Generation Who 2 in Maryland, we delve into "Whovian Family Values": parenting as a Doctor Who fan, when and how to expose kids to the program, bringing on significant others and family members into the fandom, and other means of effectively 'sharing the love' with the entire household. We were fortunate to be joined by writer and Whovian-household-headmaster Tai Gooden of Geek and Sundry, Hello Giggles, The Mary Sue, and more), and the delightful father-daughter duo of David Strom and his seven-and-three-quarters daughter (and Dalek in training), Juliet.

Doctor's Orders
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 34 minutes and 20 seconds"Run for it, Marty! The Mistress is...sitting in MY SPOT!" We always listen closely when the Doctor shares one of his many pearls of wisdom with us. Perhaps it's because of his gravitas, his gathered millennia of otherworldly experiences, or his commanding presence. Perhaps it's the title -- Doctor. It commands a degree of respect and attention. When the Doctor speaks, we're often compelled to listen. So does that apply to other famed doctors we've come into contact with? Joined by guest game-master Joshua Lou Friedman (of Long Island Who and Gallifrey One convention fame), we play a game of identifying Doctor's quotes -- but not just our beloved Gallifreyan Doctor. We've also included Doc Emmett Brown, and Dr. Sheldon Cooper in the mix. Let the games...begin!

Growing Beyond the Screen, Live from (Re)Generation Who
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 51 minutes and 30 secondsAt the sophomore outing for the Baltimore-based (Re)Generation Who convention, we were thrilled to have, as we so often do at smaller, more 'intimate' cons, chat at length with the stars, creators, and of course, the fans of the Doctor Who universe. In addition to the casual time spent in mutual enjoyment of our favourite program, we were pleased to moderate a few panels that focused on topics that we have broached on GPR in episodes past, but now had the opportunity to dive deeper, with the added contributions of those in attendance -- both the stars, and their admirers. In this installment, our live panel takes a look at characters who, through extended content both published and recorded, have been more fully developed and realized than their on-screen tenure allowed. Joined by Don Klees of Acorn Media, Ken Deep of Long Island Doctor Who, and the always entertaining veteran Doctor Who writer, John Peel, we look at character growth in examples including the Eighth Doctor, the War Doctor, Romana, Leela, and more.

Classic Rewatch: The Dalek Invasion of Earth
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 15 minutes and 37 secondsIn 1963, the world was introduced to the alien horrors of the "homicidal trash bins" known as the Daleks. As terrifying as they were to the audience of the time, there may yet have been a sense of separation from this manifestation of evil, as we (through the eyes of the TARDIS team) met them millions of years in the future, on their strange planet of Skaro. When next we find them, however, the dangers of these sinister pepperpots strikes home -- quite literally. Enjoy the time you have, fellow Earthlings, because by the mid 22nd century, we're in for a rough go of it. Turning back to what is possibly Terry Nation's finest script, we look back this week on the second season of William Hartnell's tenure as the Doctor, in "The Dalek Invasion of Earth". We discuss the fascinating construct of the script, the attention paid to supporting cast, the trials and tribulations of the beleaguered prop department, and, of course, the farewell to Carol Ann Ford, as Susan exits (exits? no...gets locked out of) the TARDIS for the last time -- on screen. It's one of our top ten Classic Who stories, and arguably one of the best First Doctor stories overall. Feel otherwise? Well, well, yes indeed, then speak up, my good chap!

Family Whod
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 7 minutes and 2 secondsWhen Whovians are asked to go any length of time without new content, one of two things happen. Either they create fan-made content, prove the fanbase is alive and well, and get the show back from the brink, or they go slightly stir crazy. Guess which category we fall into. This week we stave of delirium with our own take on the old favorite "Family Feud" and determine who has their finger on the pulse of the fandom.

Or how the fifth Doctor would have dealt with the weeping angels? Buckle up, it's time for "Doctor Swap."

Live from Gallifrey One: Station 27
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 12 minutes and 28 secondsConsider it the family reunion you actually want to attend each year -- we return to the corridors and conference rooms of the Los Angeles Marriott, and the 27th iteration of the Gallifrey One convention. Joined (this time in person!) by Alyssa of Whovian Feminism, we recap our personal highlights of the weekend, console one another on our mutual exhaustion, and revel in all the memories we take with us on our respective travels homeward. From child cosplayers who delighted us, to panels with Whovian fans and celebrities that broadened our minds and warmed our hearts, "Station 27" was every ounce of what we hoped for. And now...we sleep.

O Brother, Why Art Thou Evil? (The Time Meddler)
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 45 minutes and 52 secondsWhat's the first thing you would do if given access to a time machine? If your first answer isn't "exploit temporal dynamics to make myself rich beyond reason" then you're doing it wrong. Other acceptable answers are "muck about in the past to see what outcomes you can create in the future" or "steer world events to my liking because, why the hell not?" This week we explore the classic story "The Time Meddler" and ask ourselves if we'd be more like the Doctor (not likely) or the Monk (very probably). We discuss the introduction of new companions and a very different Doctor from the early days in season one. News Links: Moffat Receives the Order of British Excellence Award

The Keys Of Marinus

Clearly, one must heed his demands, and go on a number of convoluted adventures to various locations, seeking the elusive McGuffin. This week, we discuss the first season's classic story, "The Keys of Marinus." Join us as we travel with the Doctor and company all over an alien world, looking for the titular keys in a wholly new type of storytelling for dramatic adventure tales of the day.

News Extra: Lost in the Timestream
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 26 minutes and 18 secondsAlready reeling from the weekend's news regarding Moffat's step down, Chibnall's succession and the delay of Series 10 until Spring of 2017, American Whovians were dealt yet another unexpected blow -- the loss of Doctor Who content (both "classic" and post-2005) from the major streaming services Hulu and Netflix. Both. At once. Until further notice. In a supplemental reaction cast, Jay and Keir look at the repercussions of this change on accessibility to the program for one of the largest and rapidly growing viewer segments, and what impact this may have upon trying to cultivate any new viewers over the next year or beyond.

Farewell, Mr. Moffat
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 55 minutes and 33 secondsIn what was the start of a wild weekend of unexpected news regarding Doctor Who, the BBC released a statement that with the airing of Series 10 of the revived program, six-year head writer and executive producer Steven Moffat would be stepping down from his position, and handing the reins over to Broadchurch showrunner Chris Chibnall. While many were aware that Moffat was actively seeking his successor (odds favoring veterans and insiders like Brian Minchin, among others), the news that it would be happening in one more season was shocking enough. When combined with the notification to the public that, with the exception of a 2016 Christmas special, there would be no new content until Spring of 2017, the story grew from surprise, to shock -- and in many's eyes, upset. The official news release from the BBC regarding Steven Moffat's departure In this unscheduled reaction episode, we look at all the facts given in the BBC statement regarding Moffat's departure, Chibnall's succession, and the Series 10 delay. We try to make some sense of the circumstances, the impact it will have on the program both in content, casting, and audience, and how much we're actually being told about the machinations within the BBC.

The School That Time Forgot
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 49 minutes and 42 secondsThose heady days of youth, when everything was experienced, felt, lived and loved in the present moment, and there was not a care in the world -- or at least, not of this Earth. Who can forget the conversations with friends in the courtyards, the glances cast towards our crushes in the hallways, the explosions and showers of glass and rubble as Daleks burst through the walls of the science lab? Ah, memories. This week, we look at the past, present, and future of the esteemed fictitious educational institution of the Coal Hill Secondary School. From the first scenes of An Unearthly Child in 1963, to the forthcoming spin-off series Class, the campus has been a recurring location for Doctor Who, and a hub of interstellar, and trans-dimensional activity. Of course, it often leads to chaos, destruction, and panic in the streets, but hey -- teenage life is tumultuous by definition, right?
